CCCDTD5: Individual and community-based psychosocial and other non-pharmacological interventions to support persons living with dementia and their caregivers.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Current pharmacological therapies for dementia have limited efficacy. Thus it is important to provide recommendations on individual and community-based psychosocial and non-pharmacological interventions for persons living with dementia (PLWDs) and their caregivers.

Methods

Phase 1: A systematic review for developing recommendations on psychosocial and non-pharmacological interventions at the individual and community level for PLWDs and their caregivers. Phase 2: Rating of recommendations using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) guidelines. Phase 3: Delphi process (>50 dementia experts) for approving recommendations by the 5^th Canadian Consensus Conference on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Dementia (CCCDTD5).<
